What would be the correct path for MakeNL installation under Linux?

The CMake makefile installs to /usr/local/bin/ by default.

On Debian that directory is probably already in your PATH.

Should I download the source from Sourceforge and compile it or is there a specific package for Debian?

Not that I know of.

I'd recommend building from source:

sudo apt install build-essential git cmake pandoc
git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/makenl/code makenl
mkdir makenl/build
cd makenl/build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

Hi Andrew

I'm migrating from a Windows version of MakeNL across to Linux (an OS I am fairly new to)

I've followed those instructs with success.

Just wondering are there any major things I should be aware of when migrating my windows MakeNL files across to the Linux box. All I can think of will be altering paths to Linux syntax, but is there anything else that you can think of that I should check on, prepare for?

With thanks, Paul

Be prepared for issues with filename case. Linux is case sensitive. Make sure that you specify the names for incoming segments exactly as your NCs are sending them.

Probably case sensitive filenames as Andrew Leary mentioned. The ARCCOPY/ARCMOVE commands also might be a bit different, if you use those.

(Disclaimer: Despite having contributed to the code (mostly porting & bug fixes), I've never been a regular MakeNL user...)

ARCCopy z pkzip -ex
ARCMove z pkzip -ex

are what I have in the windows system, not sure if that blends for the Linux one?

Archives are unknown in Region54, for nodelist segment purposes. NCs
send me text segments and the ZC gets a text region segment. KISS.

Yep all good, I do the same for Scott.. so not a prob..
